Optimizing indoor comfort in your office with the right ceiling cassette in Montreal
In today’s professional environment, thermal comfort in the workplace is no longer a luxury but a necessity. In Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore, businesses are increasingly seeking efficient and discreet air conditioning solutions for their commercial spaces. At AirGreen, we’ve observed a growing interest in ceiling cassette indoor units, which combine performance, aesthetics, and space-saving design. But with so many brands—especially Fujitsu, Gree, and Lennox—how do you choose the right one for your office?
We’re here to guide you through a comprehensive analysis based on our field expertise, our recent installations, and direct customer feedback from professional clients in Montreal and the surrounding areas.
Why choose a ceiling cassette for your office?
Ceiling cassettes, also known as recessed ceiling units, are perfectly suited to professional environments:
-
Even air distribution in all directions
-
Discreet integration into the ceiling (especially with a drop ceiling)
-
Noise reduction, ideal for open-plan offices or meeting rooms
-
Easy maintenance access through removable panels
This solution is elegant, efficient, and often eligible for Hydro-Québec LogisVert rebates, especially when paired with high-efficiency heat pumps.

How to choose the right brand for your office space?
1. Assess your space dimensions and layout
Open spaces require even air diffusion, while private offices will benefit more from silent and individual control.
2. Evaluate your budget
Gree is ideal for installations with tighter budgets, while Fujitsu and Lennox are better suited for demanding environments.
3. Consider available rebates
Certain cassettes, when paired with high-efficiency outdoor units, are eligible for LogisVert rebates. Our experts handle the application process for you.
4. Always go with certified professional installation

-

AirGreen tips: common mistakes to avoid
